Hey, macrodosing listeners, you can find us every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Welcome back to nanodosing. It is Monday. It's actually Tuesday. It's Monday when we're recording this. It's Tuesday, November 15th, tax day. So make sure all your stuff's filed.

It's tax day? No, it's April 15th. Right. I was like, bro, what? Oh, my God, you stirred the fuck out of me. Yeah, you don't really, what? Taxes are kind of like, they're optional under Biden. Big T. didn't even flinch.

He's like, I know when tax date, he's motherfucker. He knows. I didn't know if there was a second tax day. I was not aware. Well, so, I mean, if you handle your withholding correctly, it should be okay. Yeah. What do you mean? I mean, it's just having to do it.

It's just, yeah, having to do it. It's just a reminder of all the money that you paid. Well, also, I've, I don't know how, uh, what the deal is with our paychecks here, but I've noticed like every year I do it. And it's like, oh, you're getting $2,000 back from the federal government. I'm like, fantastic. And then it's like, oh, you owe New York State 1974. Yeah.

And I'm like, what the fuck? I don't know what the, like, city laws are and like what percentage, but we definitely don't get enough withheld from that. But then last year, I got a shitload back from the state of New York. See, mine's always I owe New York. Yeah. Well, I was in the wacky situation last year where I owed West Virginia a ton of of money. And before I got my New York money back, so I was just like, literally, financial ruin.

If you're trying to keep the government from reaching into your pockets, I would highly recommend using the Ridge Wallet. He's like that. That was an elegant weaving of an ad read. The Ridge Wallet holds up to 12 cards plus it's got room for cash. There's over 30 colors and styles, including carbon fiber and burnt titanium. I've got my Ridge Wallet. I put all my cards in there. I keep my license and my debit card on my phone. Everything else goes into the Ridge Wallet. The Ridgewall protects everything. It's got RFID blocking technology that protects you from digital pickpocketers. It secures anywhere from two to six keys if you get there a key case as well. We should probably bleep out the fact that I just said, hey, I just roll everyone. My debit card's always in my phone.

If you're looking for my debit card, that's where you can find it. But the Ridgewallet, it's a great, great product. We've heard a lot of great feedback from you guys. A lot of people love the Ridgewall. A lot of people are very, very much Ridge wallet people. They have six colors and styles on the key case, including carbon fiber, pert titanium, and get the best offer at Ridge.com slash macro and save up to 40% through December 22nd. That's a big discount. Ridge.com slash macro save 40% through December 22nd. All right.

Yeah, we're back. Welcome. Welcome. We're going to do one show next week. Just so you guys know, one show, it's going to be a, a long macro dose on the nanodose Monday because it's Thanksgiving and Donnie and I are going over to Qatar. Maybe we can do it.

Maybe we'll get Donnie on next week and we can do a... Like a World Cup preview. Yeah, well, I'm also thinking out loud, I'd rather not bash the government of Qatar right before I go there. As you're on a plane there. Yeah, I feel like I'm going to go there and then I'll have a lot of stuff to talk about when I come back. Well, you don't have to do it about Qatar. Have you, I started watching the new FIFA documentary last night.

Did you watch that? Thanks, Aaron. Why we hype up guitar? No, Qatar seems lit. Like, have you seen, have you seen the fan villages that they have there? Some places are allowing you to drink alcohol. It's going to be fun. They've got some stadiums that they built out of entirely, like, recyclable things that are now temporary stadiums.

You can transport them. They're going to be transportable stadiums. So it's going to be, listen, I've never been to the Middle East before. I've wanted to go for quite some time everybody knows that about me and so I'll be going to Qatar I'll get to check that off I guess when you're looking back

and you're doing which continents have you visited that still counts as Asia right yeah that's Asian the Middle East Middle East is Asia the Saudi Arabia Peninsula yeah you know what's crazy you've been to Hong Kong and now you're going back to Asia but it's like the same continent

but they're so far away from each other. It's probably like as far away as we are right now from like, I don't know, South Africa is as far as Hong Kong. Oh, it's not that far. Oh, it's actually not that far at all. I'm looking at it. It's probably more like New York, New York to California.

Yeah, that's what I'm seeing right now. Yeah, but it's going to be fun. And it'll be great. And Qatar and everybody in Qatar will be very friendly and the government is wonderful. They've never done anything bad. So I'm excited for that. Big T.

Good weekend for evolves. Football, yeah. Yeah, football. The basketball team did lose to Colorado. But the altitude. Who's in Nashville? But we always have one of those games. We're a non-conference game where we just don't make a single shot.

So we'll be fun. But yeah, football, well, it was good unless you're one of the losers who said we beat Missouri by too much and that we're classless and that that's actually going to hurt us with the college football playoff committee. Are you trying too hard? Because we scored at the end to make it 6624 instead of 59 24. Now, Big T, are these actual real people or is this just like? This was Chris Felica of ESPN. Oh, the bear said that? Yeah. I like the bear. Well, you're one of the few. Let me look it up. I can, uh, I can find this tweet for you. Do you mind? because it was an

I've always hated that I've always hated that notion that you shouldn't run the score up I absolutely disagree we had our backups in and there was like four minutes left in the game like what are they supposed to do those guys deserve to play too

like what do you want us to do take a knee he said and they're probably playing harder in a blowout just because it's their only time that shine Joe Milton threw a ball 60 yards on a dime anytime that

anytime that film is on that is your resume fuck what you talk about run it up so this guy Jason Lisk said is there a backstory to why Tennessee just did what they did at the end of the game which was we had the ball in the two yard line they just punched it in for a touchdown

because it's football yeah because they're playing football or does Hypo just want karma to come back on him and Felica responded and said I genuinely want to know how the coaches on the committee will feel about that I'm all for letting your backups play but this feels like a little much Oh, the committee is going to backfire because the coaches will be like, they take umbrage to the disrespect towards the profession of coaching.

So after all week with everyone saying, Tennessee plays, nobody the rest of the season, they need style points, which was a narrative pushed by a lot of people. Like, Tennessee needs to win these games by a lot. Yeah. They go do that. And now that's bad. But whatever, we're fine. We won the game we were supposed to win. Yeah.

So talk to me, where are we at in terms of confidence about getting into the playoffs right now? It'd be a lot higher if TCU had lost. Yeah, Oregon losing was good for you guys out. Yeah, that was big. And I wouldn't put it past USC to lose to UCLA. I think we're in a good spot. I mean, we're going to have the best one-loss resume, regardless of any teams winning a conference title. So if they go by the four best teams, we'll be in it.

if they don't, there's nothing you can really do about that. What if you get to the playoff and you just have to play Georgia again? I mean, that's likely. Yeah. And that's fine. I mean, getting to a playoff would be awesome. I am perfectly fine with lining it up against Georgia again on a neutral field and seeing what happens. Big T just said, we want Georgia.

You just said, feed me Georgia. I want Tennessee to be in the playoff. You just said feed me Georgia. I would rather play them in Los Angeles in the championship game than in Atlanta in the first round but yeah yeah i have no is it funny that they're playing the national championship game like in college football in los angeles the year after indianapolis and well the one if there's one city on planet earth that doesn't care about college football is los angeles is la care about

football at all no not really like is it i don't even think you're a half-time show last year i mean you see la u sc that's not in l a is it yeah it is yeah it is in south central yeah they just don't really care care about it unless they're really, really good. And even then, it's like, okay. UCLA's one of the best teams in the country. They have 3,000 people at every game. Yeah, it's like, it's like Hollywood, like some front-running ass shit.

Like, when they're really good, they all bought it. When they're not, I wasn't into it anyway. It also makes me just think that maybe we're all dumb for caring so much about football where in Los Angeles, it's like they. A city where everything's notably going great. Yeah, well, I mean, people in Los Angeles tend to like Los Angeles. There's a reason. They like living there.

Didn't Katie Perry vote for a Republican? No, she voted for a Democrat that people don't think is left enough. Oh. Or who'd she vote for? I forget, but she posted a picture of her voting with her ballot. And she got criticized because she voted for a guy who is a registered Democrat, but people were like, he's a moderate. He's not left enough.

So that turned into her voting for a Republican. I'm trying to think if there's anybody in the United States that I would be less influenced by in terms of political leanings than Katie Perry Because also think about it Like there are a lot of people that You don't agree with their politics So that you would influence the opposite way

Like who's the true Yeah Like who's the true neutral Like if you've won this person I think McConaughey You think I think like if McConaughey like goes Towards either party hard

It's like wait there's what's going on here He seems like a guy that does not Well no because he's a guy that probably goes off vibes based on most things so he's probably not like really into the details about anything no I also feel like he's like he's from Texas right yep like he has like that southern background he's he might be sneaky super conservative I could see that we just don't he's uh I know he's he's been active on the uh the gun violence stuff in a good way well I know he's been in favor of common sense gun control oh probably not right then probably not right wing I just say I he's

done too many drugs to be a hardcore right winger i think that's an interesting uh parallel that you draw no i actually i don't think that if you do a lot of like hallucinogens it's very hard to be a right winger at that point i no i agree with you it's just interesting yeah you become like way lovey-dovey some would argue that you see the best in people instead of taking uh occasionally more realistic looks at things would you say that's probably right big tea uh what was that so like i'm saying if you is it possible for somebody to do a shitload of hallucinogens

and to be a right winger i'm sure it's possible i wouldn't say that uh i think the overwhelming majority of people who have done their fair share of hallucinogens are probably democrats there probably some libertarians in there that just like live off the grid um what's that What's that, Aaron? He just calls everybody left Democrats, and we've been on the show for a year.

And he has yet to. What word do you want me to use leftists? That's why. Well, those are two entirely different ideologies. Right. So what do you want me to use to describe people on the left? Tell me, and I will do that. Just say left.

But Democrats is like a, when you say Democrats, I hear Republican, diet Republican. Hmm. I mean, this is what Katie Perry was scolded for. Well, I agree. Yeah. But it's the true, but like, like the difference between Democrat and Republican is closer than the difference between like Democrat and like a leftist. Like that I'm telling you. That's probably true.

So I think that big and we, I think we have had this conversation before, but the libs, that's not the same thing as leftists. It's different. The left is different from what you would call the lips. Yes, leftist is worse. That you love to, that you love to own. But you don't, you don't spend that much. time owning leftists you spend more time owning libs they own themselves okay they'll take care of themselves you don't really need to worry you just clean up the libs yeah the leftovers got it okay

it's definitely probably one of those uh chicken or the egg scenarios where people who are liberal end up doing more drugs because they're more open-minded but there could be like the the reverse where there's a certain like neurotransmitter that certain hallucinogens hit that cause left this world thinking i also feel like a lot of people that do hallucinogens are usually on the younger side and younger people tend to be more liberal yeah i will conservatives do tend to be a little angrier and maybe more intense yeah maybe like it dull the psychedelics dull the edge that that's a possibility yeah so uh ted nugent probably did a lot of psychedelics he's still I think there's a there's a gone too far yeah if you do too much like Alex Jones did

Alex Jones do a lot of drugs he's just a little Adderall I think Alex Jones is probably taken he's put a lot of chemicals into his body yeah I don't know he's like old school alcoholic yeah see the videos of him he's like drinking bottles of hard liquor a day and like having to like switch his t-shirts because he gets withdrawal symptoms and starts sweating and he has to switch shirts like that's That's like Winston Churchill type alcoholic. Old school. Old school. Did you see he was demanded to pay another $500 million?

Yeah. He doesn't have that money. He's so broke. I think Alex Jones is a brokest person in the world. Actually, in the news. No, I think Alex Jones is broker because he, Alex Jones has now has like negative $1.1 billion. The guy that you're talking about from FTX,

that guy just has $0 now. true because he lost the most money yeah he lost what like 22 billion dollars so he's not in the negative he's not in the negative but um like does but Alex Jones like tries to like buy lunch is it just like how do you have that money yeah no somebody should follow him around all the time and just like take money out of his wallet when he's trying to pay for stuff but that guy the non Alex Jones guy he's going to go to prison right well he's trying to escape he's currently in the Bahamas he's Dan Snyder's next door neighbor in the Bahamas yeah So is he really?

Yeah. Have you heard about this guy here? Do you know? No, no. Tell me what. No, feel me. All right. So I'm probably going to butcher this.

But FTX was they were probably the most recognizable marketplace for like in terms of crypto exchanges where you could buy and sell crypto, whether it was things just like Bitcoin or some other like smaller coins and some like I think they had their own proprietary coin as well. they had a lot of a lot of different available things that you could buy and sell on their marketplace and they'd become like i don't know you'd probably say the walmart maybe not walmart but like they became the biggest kind of most trusted most mainstream exchange in the united states and maybe in the world too so they sponsored miami heats stadium stadium they had a super bowl commercial with tom brady they were a sponsor of step curry the ft x logo was on every single major league ump

Unpires Uniform this year, which is really weird thing to sponsor. It's like we're going to sponsor you umpires. But I guess they even sponsored us. Visible. An oddly good idea though. I actually do think it's a good. It's a weird idea. Yeah. But I think it works because if you want to be known as being the safe place, then like what

better thing than to just sponsor authority figures? It gives you like a sense of legitimacy that way. So they were very active in sports. And yeah, Tom Brady, I think he got. a bunch of equity in the company. The Golden State Warriors are also heavily sponsored by them. Shohei Otani is sponsored by them. Shaquille O'Neal.

The Cal Berkeley Stadium is named after FTX. And the Mercedes F1 team was also sponsored by FTC. So, like, FTX was everywhere. So it was one of the earliest crypto exchanges. So when it did balloon, the Sam Sam Bank and Friedman was at one point worth

26.5 billion and now he is broke broke. Yeah. So it was sort of what's what we're seeing with like all this crypto stuff that like was a big problem in the financial markets like back in the Great Depression. Basically they got hit with the point where all their investors tried to get all their crypto out of the crypto exchange.

Yeah. And it was like one of those, you know. It's a bank run. Exactly. So what happened was FTX, they have their own exchange, right? So they have a place where you can go and buy and sell crypto and Bitcoin. They also have a separate business called Alameda, which is, it's in theory separate from FtX. And Alameda, they had their own, they had their own crypto coin.

They had their own token. So they would then, they were in, they ended up. becoming invested in their own coin so much that they were just moving money around. And a lot of their valuation came from how much of their own proprietary crypto coin they were selling or crypto token that they were selling was. And there's another group called Binance. And they're also a major player in the crypto space. And Binance's CEO saw and correctly identified that FTX had so much of their

their net worth tied into the valuation of their own coin, that there was an opportunity of the marketplace. So the Binance dude bought a fuckload of the FTX proprietary coin held on to it for a while and then unloaded all of it, which completely devaluates that coin. Then there was a bank run on FTX and because the valuation of their own cryptocurrency was so low, they didn't have enough money to pay people to get their investments out. Yeah. So they were taking people's money that were using their platform to buy and sell.

And they were taking that money and they were leveraging it to invest in more of their own cryptocurrency. And then once that dude from Binance tanked it by selling all of his, they didn't have enough money to actually pay people back. So boom, instantly like $20 billion. Wiped off the It's a Ponzi scheme isn't this It's a Ponzi scheme

It's relative to a Ponzi scheme It's kind of like It's no different from what a lot of banks have done in the past Until they had these different rules that were put in place On to like How Leverage You're allowed to be So like if I go to Bank of America

And if we all went to Bank of America right now And tried to get all of her money out They wouldn't be able to handle it right away Now there's federal regulations that say that they have to have it insured up to a certain amount. But back in the day, the banker down the street could take your money and be like, I know a good real estate deal that I'm going to make money off of. I just need a down payment. So I'm going to take the money that you gave me and I'm going to invest in this other thing. And then hopefully you won't ask me for my money back or your money back all at

once. That's kind of how things used to be. And that's what happened in the crypto world with this entire situation and the dude that ran FTX was also the guy that was trying to write so here here's why the CEO of finance hates the FTX guy and why he was motivated to put him out of business because the FTX guy was trying to write all the laws and regulations that would govern how cryptocurrency would work in the future because right now it's still the wild west this dude probably accurately realized that at some point the government will get involved in crypto and regulating crypto to a greater extent than it is now so maybe I should just be the one that writes all the rules that way I can profit from them if I tell them what the

rules should be that didn't that didn't win him any friends in other crypto companies because a lot of crypto people are big time like libertarian no rules this whole thing is decentralized. Having this type of decentralized currency is good for the world economy. So they don't want to play by any country's rules. So that's why everybody hated the dude from FTX. That's why the finance guy saw an opportunity to put him out of business and pounced at it. So they're still looking for the FTX guy? Yeah. So this was the part that I always found funny. This guy is in the Bahamas. They think that he was trying to get to a place with no extradition, like Dubai. And I actually thinking you know you might bump into him in guitar because i don't think guitar is extradition

to the united states do they not um yeah that's actually something very important i'm gonna look that up i'm gonna look that up right now check out but um they think he was trying to run away to south america uh there's a lot of rumors and this is where it gets into like conspiracy that he's like trying to use the same service that epstein did to like in maccophie did to like get out of everything like hypothetically if those were faked suicides so It's, you know, his evaluation, he's literally went from 26 billion to zero and like overnight. And it sucks for everyone, uh, who had money in FDX because now they can't get it out and a lot of them have lost a lot of money.

And FDX, weren't they, um, sponsoring some barstool stuff? Yeah, I think that they worked with Dave. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know if they ever sponsored like anything apart of my take off to look that up. I think it was at one point of a little, uh, what's it called watermark on one of our videos but crazy crazy stuff but the thing is did you see jack mac shout out jack mac he was getting into this turns out there might be like uh the

how much of the ftx like donations to biden and all that there's a weird uh well the guy said that he was going to donate a billion dollars to the next round of elections but i don't i don't think he said who he was donating it to. So, yeah, so this guy, he might try to go to Dubai. That's where they currently think he is. But on this, there was something about a Ukrainian oligarch bought a huge stake in FTX, and then FTX then donated tons of money to different campaigns around the United States. So they think it might have been like a way for Ukraine to fund its own interests in our election.

through FTX because then it wouldn't be Ukrainians. By the way, this was on both sides the aisle. I'm just saying that it wasn't, I'm not trying to make this like a left versus right thing. There's evidence that they may have been so let me pull up the exact.

Oh, is your evidence talking to Jack Mack? A Twitter thread that Jack Mack. Okay, all right, got it. But let me pull it up. That's the evidence. I just want to establish that. Ukraine partners with FTX Everstate to launch new crypto donation website.

Yeah. Okay. So just, I mean, I don't have the exacts in front of me, but just something to look at. So basically, FDX was converting donations into Fiat or for deposit, the National Bank of Ukraine. Like, it's really weird from that aspect of what the hell is going on. What happens to all the money, like all the crypto? Well, it was all speculative. Yeah.

So it didn't exist. but like so if somebody steals a bunch of bitcoin they just have the address for the bitcoin i'm just really glad that we bought like 50 bucks worth of cum rocket and then just never did anything with it that we didn't become like a full-time crypto what's it doing uh probably probably lost all my money on that one that's fine listen there was a cum bubble and we got we got right it was as it was popping uh we just essentially bought a couple coins because it was fun to be like, hey, we have, was it, ass moon was one of them?

It's a safe moon. Safe moon, but there was also an ass one. Oh, no, I had Come Rocket and I had, what the fuck was the other one? Come Rocket was a big one. Ascoyn, I thought was one of them. I think Caleb got really into Ascoyn was one of them. They were trying to pump it.

Yeah. Where's Bitcoin at right now? I think it's like 15K right now. So it's still down a little bit. That's so funny to me. I think it's so funny. I think at the time we did that podcast, it was like 60, right? Yeah.

No, it was high. There's definitely some sort of future with, with cryptocurrency, and it's going to impact global financial markets. But I think everybody that proclaimed themselves to be like a crypto expert, you were just really an expert in knowing something completely made up. Well, the blockchain, the blockchain technology, I think, has more use than actual crypto like i think crypto as a from a monetary standpoint i think more the blockchain has a better like usage throughout the world than just for currency i mean unless they mean we talk we talked

to that who do we talk to about all of this shit about about crypto we had a crypto episode and we talked to some dude who was like all into it and i asked him these exact questions like a year ago it's popliani and i was like so like i was like wholly unconvinced of that entire shit it's for these exact reasons it's like you can't convince an entire earth to change currencies and it's just not going to happen but you know i feel like i feel like this uh when it was 60k that was more speculation and people the market was all markets were getting flooded with money coming in from other stimulus checks and like the market was way overvalued that summer but is it it was just new i think people were just excited about something new that was hitting the scene

It was like fear of missing out. You saw other people that were apparently making money and you're like, oh, I want to do that too. Isn't it all speculative? That's like all it is. Yeah, well, money in general is speculative. It doesn't exist. Yeah.

But there's so many different things that, in different layers that you have to go through to understand cryptocurrency, like the exchanges, and you have to understand the wallets that you have to put them into. You have to understand what the gas fees are like for certain things. There's just people became experts in a whole. whole lot of bullshit. Because Billy,

didn't you just say like last week that blockchain is how you think people should be voting? Yeah. I mean, it basically.

I don't know what blockchain is either. It's, I mean, I can't even explain it. But it's just, it's a decentralized information center

that regulates itself by having multiple servers involved that check the authenticity of the information or data, the blockchain code per se. And basically, if we were to try

to, you know, make a super, if you're trying to make a super secure election, that's the most easily accessible to everybody. The blockchain basically authenticity. Yeah. And like, you know, trying to ensure that voter fraud doesn't happen. And even Maricopa County right now is like there's everyone's confused and no one that has like, uh, total, it's just a weird situation because of a lot of misinformation as well as other stuff.

But having an open ledger would allow the votes to be seen. and sort of provide a better like transparent system because democracy was supposed to work when it was just a bunch of guys throwing stones into a pot and that's that was pretty transparent and they're all in togas I would um pretty transparent togas I would actually I like the idea of mandatory voting I do too mandatory voting you got you have to do it have to do it or else you get fined. You open the last pod saying don't vote. Yeah, well, I changed my mind. I changed my mind,

mandatory voting now. Either nobody votes or everybody votes. But then you don't have the right, like, the right to not having to vote, that's kind of America. Yeah, but you don't, I mean, there's other stuff you don't have the right to do. You have to sign up for the draft when you turn 18. I don't. I don't think I ever did, man.

I don't remember doing it. Like, I never, like, how do you do it? it. I remember they saying you have to go to the post office or some shit like that, right? I don't know what the statute of limitations on that is, but you should say you did that. No, selective... I didn't do it. It's like my dick, Uncle Sam. Selectives

Selective service. You know, I believe in universal registration. I think it doesn't. Some just show up at your house. When you turn 18, they're like, you have to sign this. No, no. I just remember getting it in the mail and I just signed it and sent it back. Ari and Foster, big undrafted guy. Yeah, you know,

you have to show up to the combine first area yeah the military combine yeah we should have a military combine do you think pound for pound we have the most athletic military yes i think there's actually tons of articles that there's this one article this french guy wrote about u.s soldiers and if the olympics are any indicator then probably yeah a french soldier a french soldier's view of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan. It's the funniest article ever because this French guy is like, the Americans, they're just so much bigger and stronger than the French. Hell yeah.

Just like, USA, baby, GMOs. Yeah, we've got hormones in the mill. We've got the biggest soldiers in the world. I bet you that Switzerland has some low-key jacked-up soldiers. They just eat a bunch of beef all the time. They have high-train. They have high-gun ownership. Yeah, high gun ownership.

and they probably train in high altitudes in the Alps. But there should be an Olympics, but for... I think there is a soldiers... Isn't there a military games? And I remember they were hosting it in Saudi Arabia and the Kenyan tanking team. Like, they like have a tank race. Yeah.

This is a thing. And like the Kenyan team was in a viral video where they couldn't get their tank. Wait. Isn't the Olympics of the military... Wasn't that just World War II? Kind of, yeah. Wasn't that just like...

Let's see who makes it out. We won, yeah. We got the gold. We ended the military Olympics. Isn't that what war is? Yeah, in a way, yeah. But, I mean, war games, you know, like you set up the tank obstacle course. Yeah.

You have the decathlon. Yeah, paintball battles. One of my buddies was a videographer, West from Hard Factor. And one time he got contracted to do a documentary where they were reenacting the invasion of Normandy, but everybody just had paintballs. So it was like they had they had these boats that pulled up onto this beach and they had these massive, massive like machine guns with paintballs and them that were in these little nests on the beach. Just shoot it. And this time the Nazis won.

Oh my God. Yeah. Yeah. Guys the 2019. So the military world games happens every couple of years. Guess where the 2019 military war games were? I don't know. Wuhan China.

Whoa. And it was literally. right before. Did we have, did we enter a, uh, bio weapons team? I,

that's what I'm thinking. Uh, oh. Yeah. So actually, some of the events, archery, artistic gymnastics,

fencing, wait. Okay. It's like old school fighting. Aeronautical pentathlon. Oh, cool. It's six events, shooting, fencing.

orientering basketball skills and obstacle courses in swimming? What? Maybe it's like the Aztec basketball. I don't know. The military penthouse. The military penthouse. Loser gets the head rolled down to the pyramid. Yeah, exactly.

They used to play soccer with people's heads, right? Yeah. I thought they had that ring in the middle of like the stadium and they used to throw a ball through there and like the losers had to like get sacrificed or something like that. Yeah, I think that was like the Aztecs. Oh, you know what? you know what's super cool so a lot of the Aztecs uh worship death like that was the reason why they did the sacrifices because like they were sacrificing the god of death i'm not sure of the

exact one i think it might be quits a quotal that was super long word and today in mexico there's been this resurgent of the patron saint of death uh let me pull this up that like a lot of the cartel worship because death is in their life so much because they're doing cartel stuff um and they basically it's crazy how like this ancient religion has almost popped up again because of this worshipping of the god of death and i think one no i'll show you like the satanic panic stuff no no it's uh like but it's like well i i want to address something actually i just remembered there was an instance of razor blades in candy this year at Halloween were yeah somebody it's I forget where it was it was like one house um they put razor

blades and candy and like six kids got it around the neighborhood and the cops last I heard were like focusing on this one block to try to figure out so like for the first time in history as we said on this show like it's it's fake it never happens it actually did happen that's because so many people were like it didn't it never happened that some crazy person was just like we're going to do it this time yeah let's do it well what was it in what kind of candy all right so i'm pulling it up right now well you're doing that the saint saint saint's santa muerte is the personification of death she santemuerte yeah oh that's that's the john in the book of life yeah yeah it's um it's sort of related to folk catholicism and mexican neo paganism and it's

crazy how it's like popped up like they're still worshipping death in mexico just like thousands of years ago all right so here's you we kind of worship death too yeah we do we think about death a lot here's the thing it's in oregon it's eugene organ it's eugene organ damn multiple razor blades have been found hidden hidden in children's Halloween candy and authorities have narrowed down their hunt for a suspect to a small neighborhood where the families may have been trick or treating for the holiday. So it was in Eugene, Oregon, they found a small razor blade hidden in their children's Halloween candy. The razor appears to be something similar to a pencil sharpener blade. So like kind of a mid razor. And it's in the friendly neighborhood of Eugene. They capitalized friendly.

So I'm thinking that that's the name of a part of Eugene. And then three more similar reports were made to authorities, which all happened to be in the area from West 24th Avenue, to West 27th Avenue between Tyler and Friendly Street and Friendly Eugene. So this also might just be like it could all be fake. It could be like three families that are doing this together. Stranger things have happened. But it does appear at least for now that there's one instance of Halloween candy being tainted with razor blade.

Still your chances of like dying from a meteor are like 10 times higher than getting a razor blade in your candy but it does look like there was one thing that happened this year there was also edible did you see that the joan in um in eugene i forget it's like uh disley

donuts or some shit like that where this dude he uh he goes outside he films himself he goes outside he films himself pouring water on a homeless lady and it's like cold as shit and he uh

and he claims that like he's had problems with her before and she sits outside of his business and people don't want to go in and yeah yeah but like she was just sitting there and she was cold as fuck and she's like you're an asshole i don't have any clothes to change it too it's fucking cold outside and he's like oh yeah oh yeah's not my problem he's doing that shit and he's the one that posted it's like people flooded his page like yo what a dick move and then he goes on about he posts a picture of like America and says don't let the government government can't save you like all kind of crazy shit it was wild though Alternative event that I followed on a random Tuesday. There's been a ton of that. There's another story, I think, out of L.A. Where there was, like, a video of this, like, a store owner who's trying to get the government to do something about some of the homeless individuals outside of his store. And he just, I think he did something similar. But people are getting desperate.

Just hosed him down. Yeah. Did you guys see that homeless guy who best? built a, like a super nice house on the street of L.A. No. He's so, it's actually, oh, yeah, yeah, the shack. I have seen that guy. That guy, that guy's, if you're going to set up, if you're going to set up a, like, a homeless, like, residents.

Actually, I'm pretty impressed with some of the, the get-ups you see out here. Like, I saw one guy with a total box, like, house. And I'm like, look, if you're going to create a homeless, you know, a place to live, If you make it look cool and nice, I have no problem with it. You sound like the HOA. You're going to find you. Homeless HOA. All right.

So I'm doing a little bit more invest to you. Now I have to find out what's going on with this Halloween razor shit. I sounded a little iffy to me. Well, it's in the news. And the fact that it said that there were three families that had it happened to them in the same neighborhood, that's at least more accurate than things that I've seen in the past. but the last update on this was like November 2nd

2002 and there have been no updates in terms of like the arrest you know that the news would write about it the second that they found out who put the razor blades in there that's like gold to them to do an update on the story and there's nothing

there's absolutely nothing about it since then so it might this might be fake we'll see if you live in Eugene give me an update on this and let me know if this was actually a story that happened. Yeah.

And then stop by Disney donuts and see if that guy's a dick or not. Yeah. Say what's up to the... What if that guy was the one putting razor plates and donuts? Like viral marketing? Yeah. That actually would be... What if you own a donut shop and you were like, one out

of every thousand donuts has a razor blade in? You think people would come in just for the thrill? You think the homeless woman started putting donuts putting razor blades in his donuts is revenge. I don't know, but I actually think that more people would buy the donuts if it was like one out of a thousand chance

that you get a razor blade. The golden ticket. It'd be exhilarated. Yeah, we need to, we're due for like a Willy Wonka type feel. You know what I mean? Let's get, let's get Elon Musk giving out

golden tweets. Elon should actually just go to the Twitter office. Give me all this money. Today's episode is brought to you by Hey Dude. We got some Hey Dude shoes. I actually saw a dude out at James Madison.
